Bai Wanyi raised her little face and looked at Qin Wan in confusion: "Brother Yan and I are truly in love. I just want a chance to accompany Brother Yan. How can this involve ancestral etiquette?"
"Sister Qin's words are too profound for me to understand. I only know that Brother Yan and I love each other and cannot tolerate anything else. It has been my lifelong wish to marry him. Brother Yan said that you have been with him for eight years and he cannot divorce you, otherwise it would be unkind and unjust. I don't want him to fall into such an unkind and unjust situation, but he doesn't want to let me down, so he helped me ask for the title of equal wife."
"if……"
Bai Wanyi glanced at Qin Wan with a smug look. "Fight with me? You're still a little naive. How could someone who's been nurtured by so many palace fighting dramas and domestic fighting dramas be unable to defeat an ancient person? If I didn't want to play some domestic fighting, I would have asked Brother Yan to divorce you long ago!"
Bai Wanyi's long eyelashes trembled, and tears rolled down her cheeks: "If Sister Qin doesn't want to, Brother Yan, I... I..."
Bai Wanyi was choking with sobs and couldn't speak. Lu Yan's heart was broken. He hugged her distressedly and looked at Qin Wan with cold eyes: "Qin Wan, if you don't want to, then you don't want to. No..."

The emperor patted Lu Yan's shoulder heavily and looked deeply at Qin Wan. "Madam Pingyang, Lord Lu has fought for our Great Zhou for many years and has made great contributions. Bai has also made great contributions to our Great Zhou by offering advice and suggestions. You must give careful consideration to how to deal with her."
Lu Yan's heart was already hurt by Bai Wanyi's tears, and now that the emperor said this, he was even more heartbroken. However, the emperor's will could not be disobeyed, so he could only temporarily inconvenience Bai Wanyi.
Lu Yan embraced Bai Wanyi affectionately, "Wanyi, I'm so sorry for today. I'll have someone take you back home first. I'll give you an explanation after we get back from the celebration banquet."
"Come here, take Miss Bai back to the mansion," Lu Yan said, his eyes fixed on Qin Wan, "and place her in Qitongju."
Hearing the three words "Qitongju", everyone in the Marquis' Mansion suddenly looked up with an expression of disbelief.
